Thank you Angel and the same to you and yours. Don't get too snowed under! Then that might be nice for a few days, just snoox down with a doona and read a good book while the world passes you by. Have a wonderful Christmas.

Circus Monkey: Not exactly sure how to explain. Hominy is made from corn (with the use of lye). I suppose the grits are then coarsely ground from the dried hominy. I LOVE grits. The only thing you EVER put into grits are butter and salt. NEVER NEVER NEVER put sugar into grits. Had grits just this past Sunday morning.

It’s that time of year again! I’m doing the rounds and apologising for my complete failure to more regularly offer comment on everybody’s incredible efforts for the year. I know how hard it can be to keep up with the daily grind of everyday posting, and want to thank you for your efforts.

I especially want to wish festive greetings for all from down here at [nearly] the end of the world, the bottom of Tasmania.
